Spring Break Recap--Part 2

Thursday morning we drove to Palm Springs and by the afternoon we were at a Date Farm learning about "the Romance and Sex Life of a Date" via a video. So...Ashlyn, Kylen, & Julianne know all about dates...the fruit. Brian's mom loves to make the most of every trip we venture on and so no matter what state or city we go to, we will always do the museums and theme parks. Palm Springs is rather limited in their museums, hence the reason we landed at the Date Farm.

It was fun and educational. Notice the sign behind us...

...with Grandpa & Grandma


Friday--Riley Farms--2 hours of Fun learning about the Civil War

We were from Louisiana--hard core Confederates!
The goats were the highlight...the kids now want goats...

Julianne brushing one as they ran around wild.

Ashlyn loving the goats

Brian & Ashlyn learning etiquette during the 1860's
I think we'll keep them in these until they decide the goats stay.

Great Memories! Dates, goats, the Civil War, the Downs Fam, and Spring Break! What more could we ask for.
